The argument of the free oil people is that the av- erage Republican protectionist has not adapted his doctrine to the changed conditions since the Payne law of 1909. They say the war made the Unite States a great creditor nation instead of a debtor nation. We are also great exporters and shippers with a great merchant marine. We have enormous loans and in- vestmencs abroad. We can no longer maintain eco- nomic aloofness. Then the final argument—how can Europe pay us if we do not admit her goods? It is true the war did to great extent reverse con ditions that previously existed, but the war did not abolish the fact that owing to the cheaper costs of labor and produciion Europe and Asia can send goods into our own markets much cheaper than we can manufacture them with our higher scale of wages and more expensive mode of living. The fact that ‘we are a creditor nation does not mean that we shall suspend production and exist off foreign goods. We still propose to manufacture and employ labor. Eu- rope must pay her interest and arrange her indebt- edness in business fashion like other folks. Our first care is not for Europe’s welfare, it is for our own. We were great exporters and shippers during the war, because Europe was not producing. Europe is now producing at very near her normal output. The world will continue to absorb our foodstuffs and much of our manufacturers because of superiority of goods. That is our strong point in competition and it wins. We never have held aloof in commercial relation’ but we have insisted on evening up costs in our mar- kets by a protection tariff. The concern of the generality of Americans with reference to oil is not for the American citizen who has gone to foreign fields where labor and production costs are lower, to bring the product in competition with our own; it is for the thousands upon thousands of small stockholders and little producers in the oil business who have invested their capital and contrib- uted their enterprise and industry to the development of oil in the United States. These dre the people we care about and these are the people we want protected. The little fellow in the oil business is a mighty import- ant person to the industry. He is the backbone of it. He has claims upon us that we could not think of ignoring. If the larger view of the world’s economic situa- tion, so affected by some very eminent Republican statesmen and leaders in affairs, contemplates neglect of the things that touch closely the daily life of our own people, then we are proud to remain insular and narrow and retain the respect of our neighbors. = We know what the lower house of congress has done to oil. We will wait and see if the senate is Strue to its boasted Americanism. ———— It is not surprising that the mystery ships lose their way occasionally and fall into the hands of revenue cutters. Just look what they carry for cargo. et DUTY FREE HIDES. The question of duty free hides has been threshed cut frequently within the memory of most of us who are able to recall the framing of the McKinley bill in 1890, the Dingley bill in 1897 and the Payne-Aldrich law in 1909. These tariff writers were all high protectionists, es-| pecially McKinley and Dingley. Each wrote into the laws of the period duty free hides upon the theory that our manufacturers of leather goods were com- peled to go abroad for practically half their raw ma- terial, and while protected hides would give our farm-| ers a higher rate for such as they produced, they were More than compensated for free hides, in the price | of their purchases of leather products such as shoes, | harness, etc. The benefit of a tariff on hides would not come to the farmer to any great extent, for 65 per cent of the hides marketed come from the packers who ob- tain them as a by-product from the packing business, oo eee NOW TAX REVISION. Never has there been a time in tariff revision when @ measure has received the cold reception the Ford- ney bill is receiving generally at the hands of the party press. It is not because the Fordney bill does not possess elements of good or is impossible of be- ing reformed in the senate, but because the country is disappointed in the action of the house in placing the tariff legislation ahead of taxation and other matters deemed of higher importance to the country. The New York Tribune's view is a fair reflection of gen- eral sentiment. It says: “By passing the Fordney tariff bill by a majority that approximately measured party strengths the house does not so much record an achievement as give to the senate an opportunity. “The opportunity is to place the bill in the most capacious pigeon-hole on the topmost shelf and let dust accumulate until such time as the tax revision bill is passed. The business energies of the country need first to be released by repealing the excess prof- its tax, which penalizes and discourages special ef- ficiency, and, second, given a fair chance to bid for available capital by repeal of the excessive income surtaxes that have driven large investors to buy tax exempt securities. The bonus, as it were, must be withcrawn from municipals, and by so much the bur- den lifted from industrials. “Affirmative tax legislation is contentious matter. | of the cost of collecting this sum. | be known. | slogan. The ways and ans committee of the house and the| finance committee of the senate will tind it easy to excise the excess pro’ tax and to scale down the surtaxes. But to fill up the hole in the revenue means long debate. It's time to be at it. ‘ “A sales tax is much mentioned, but there is yet no accepted statement of what kind. Is the tax to rest only on final sales, and thus be akin to the pres- ent luxury tax with buyers knowing when they pay? Or is it to be levied on all turnovers, as in France, and pyramided to the final incidence with varying thicknesses of collection? Or is it to be of the Canadian type, with the tax one on busness and consumers not knowing they are plucked? Or is it to be of the Philippine pattern and restricted to a few classes of sales? These things it will take time to smocth and adjust. Not only must agreements be reached, but it is impossible to estimate until tax re- vision is disposed of what sum must be raised by the tariff. From the treasury’s point of view, the reve nve is a unity, with each part dependent on other parts. There cannot be separated consideration. The present form of the Fordney tariff may become archaic when it is drawn from ‘jts retreat “No great harm has been done. by going through the motions of making a tariff. It is true a month has been wasted, but probably it would have been wasted in another way if Chairman Fordney had been less eager. Anyhow, the measure is out of the way now, and both houses can devote themselves to the real business facing them—tax revision.” ———___o____ THE GREATEST PARLIAMENTARY BODY. The United States senate is said to be the greatest | parliamentary body in the world. We don’t believe this would be disputed by anyone who has ever seen the senate in action all of the people cannot, at some time, get down to Washington and attend an occasional session, when matters of high importance are going forward. The next best thing is to bring the senate to the people by giving a couple of thrilling paragraphs, from the Con gressional Record, on one of the senate’s busy days The following will awaken the pride of any American citizen: Mr. Robinson mentary inquiry. Mr. McCumber. time. Mr. Robinson. The senator is compelled to yield to a parliamentary inquiry. Mr. McCumber. I am not compelled to yield. Mr. Robinson. I rise to a point of order, then. Mr. McCumber. That is a different proposition. Mr. Robinson. I demand the regular order. Mr. President, I make the point of order— Mr. McCumber. yield Mr. Robinson. Mr. President, I make the point of order that there is no business before the senate. Mr. McCamber. I am giving the senate some business now, Mr. President. Mr. Robinson. It is very poor business; the senator is arguing against the vote that he cast a moment ago. Mr. McCumber. I decline to yield for a discussion of the merits of the matter; I merely yielded to the senator to submit a point of order. After several complete pages of similar brilliant senatorial repartee, this ponderous debate ensues: Mr. Ashurst. Mr. President, we can not hear a word that is being said. Mr. Robinson. Mr. President, a parliamentary in- Mr. President, I rise to a parlia- I have declined to yield at this quiry. The Vice President. Senators will be seated. Mr. Robinson. A parliamentary inquiry.

A few moments ago I made a mo- tion that the senate proceed to the consideration of executive businesss. Did the chair hold that that mo- tion was out of order? The Vice Presdent. The chair ruled that the sen- ator could not get the floor at that time for. the pur- pose of niaking that motion because it would take the senator from North Dakota off the floor. Mr. Robinson. Then I respectfully appeal, Mr. President, from the decision of the chair, and on that appeal I demand the yeas and nays. The matter was settled without bloodshed and the vice president was sustained in his ruling. Having read these two Paragraphs, is there anyone who will now dispute the statement that the United States senate is the greatest parliamentary body in the world? Senators will be seated.

The internal revenue collector is careful to let us know that the sum of $20,000,000 have been wrung frem unwilling taxpayers who would evade payment of just dues to the government. The effort put forth to collect these delinquent taxes is a most worthy one, for it comes within the duties of officials hired and paid for rendering the service; and the public is always pleased to know when duties are being per- formed. The revenue office, however, neglected to tell us It is presumed, of course, to be less than the amount realized, but it could easily have been more. There is quite an army of investigators, clerks, inspectors, detectives, experts and prosecutors, many of them with traveling epenses, to be accounted for before the net figure can It may be that $20,000,000 were not worth going after. If the government is operated for the benefit of the people or for the benefit of the bureaucrats, it would not be a bad idea to show which, : ee NEVER AGAIN. The Germany of 1914 and 1921 may be considered two different states. They do say that things change every seven years. The world learned from bitter experience in the past to place no great trust in Ger- many’s word or action. The present psychology in the Fatherland seems to be away from militarism and all influences that led to war and all is for peace these days. They have displaced “The Day,” with “Never Again,” when they lift their beer steins. It is coming to be the custom, and numerous organizations are devoting their efforts to spreading the hopeful g This is the story coming from the Rhine, which the world, and America, especially, is asked to accent. Most folks will be slow to believe in the sincerity of the conversion and will require that a long proba- tionary period be given before receiving Germany back into full confidence. ._ Germany has every reason to “never again,” and it is the hope of every people touched by the war that there is nothing idle in the present attitude and that the lessons have sunk so deep upon the German peo- ple they will always be remem in common with the rest of the world will assist in all good faith to make “never again’’ forever. ——————o—4—____ MORE LIFE REQUIRED.
